Keanu Reeves expressed his eagerness to reprise his role as Johnny Silverhand in the upcoming Cyberpunk 2, saying he would love to play the character again. As followers of Cyberpunk 2077 know, Johnny's fate is tied to the narrative decisions made in the original game. Insights from Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith hint at a new city being introduced in the sequel, described as "like Chicago gone wrong." CD Projekt Red is currently in pre-production for Cyberpunk 2, and although no release date is confirmed, it is unlikely to launch before 2030.
Will Keanu Reeves return as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2?While Reeves is enthusiastic about returning, whether he will reprise his role depends on the narrative direction taken by the developers and the canonical ending chosen from Cyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk 2077, released in December 2020, became a cultural phenomenon despite a rocky launch, featuring an open-world environment set in the dystopian Night City. The game received significant updates, improving functionality and gameplay experience and establishing a solid fanbase eager for a sequel to explore further narratives and character arcs.

Honestly, Keanu's passion for the role is awesome, but I'm more curious how they'll handle Johnny's return given how the original endings played out. Either way, a new city and more Cyberpunk lore has me totally sold, even if we're waiting till the next decade.
Honestly, Keanu's enthusiasm is infectious, but I'm more hyped about exploring a new dystopian city—Chicago gone wrong sounds like the perfect kind of chaos. Can’t wait to see how CD Projekt Red weaves it all together, even if we’re in for a long wait.
